replacement warranty. If any manufacturing defect becomes apparent in this
product within one year from the original date of purchase, it will be
replaced. Please return the GMRS radio or charger to your dealer with
original or copy of dated proof of purchase. This warranty does not cover
damages due to careless handling, negligence, accident, abuse or failure to

Cobra will, without charge, repair or replace, at its option, defective GMRS
radios, chargers, products or component parts upon delivery to the Cobra

consumer purchase, such as a duplicated copy of a sales receipt.

specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which may vary
from state to state.
Exclusions: This limited warranty does not apply: 1) To any product
damaged by accident; 2) In the event of misuse or abuse of the product or

for a particular purpose are limited in duration to the length of this
warranty. Cobra shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential or other
damages; including, without limitation, damages resulting from loss of use
or cost of installation.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts
and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
